Poll Dancing in an Age of Covid

Poll Dancing in an Age of Covid

Nobody can say the media and the pollsters, aren't doing their best to protect -- sorry -- project the official slant.

Maclean's: Typical 'vaccine hesitant' person is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal: Abacus polling

• Compared to the vaccinated, the vaccine hesitant don’t have a lot of trust in government. They also try to avoid prescriptions, dislike putting anything unnatural in their bodies and say they are reluctant to take any vaccines. Most worry that COVID-19 vaccines haven’t really been tested for a long time.

Ahhh, you're just saying that. No, it's not sexist at all. Thanks for the compliments, you guys. I'm not 42, but I'm told I look it and that's all that matters.

I guess the proof that I'm not 42 is in the suggestion that I would vote Liberal. Fact is, I don't intend to vote at all if Trudeau calls an election, and he might as well know right now that no one is fooled by the $500 bribe to the raisin population. You'd almost think he's praying Covid will rise up once again and carry them off to a better place -- after the election, of course.

I'm definitely a former Liberal voter, but that was back when I really was 42 and didn't know what I know now -- that the first casualty is always the press (or "the media", as it's fashionable to call the liars now). It's been that way since at least World War One. NYTimes Archives

Hence, we are treated to deliberately muddy newsfare -- like this, for instance: 

BusinessInsider: A Southwest Airlines flight attendant died from COVID-19 less than 2 months after testing positive, following a trip to Hawaii, reports say.

"Reports say"? That's like saying, "you didn't hear it from me". Business Insider is clearly of no better caliber than a Hollywood gossip column.

Here's the rancid meat and warmed-over potatoes:

• Both Hildreth and Shepperson's mother told the paper that he was fully vaccinated.

In other words: We didn't say it; his relatives said it. But there were no quote marks around it like this:

• "We are heartbroken over the loss of our Southwest employee," the spokesperson said in a statement to the paper. "Out of respect for the family, we do not have additional information to share."

In other words: We'd rather not say anything that could be construed as against the standard propaganda.

Yeah, the family clearly would want the message to be as useless and uninformative as possible.

You'd think there'd be some kind of investigation conducted by such an august media outlet, to verify whether or not Mr. Shepperson was indeed fully vaccinated -- but of course that would suggest the vaccines are useless, and/or that Hawaii is some kind of super spreader!

But apparently one must not suggest the vaccine was a dud -- or worse, a killer. Nor suggest that the PCR test * may be totally unreliable. And most certainly one should not delve into whether or not the actual cause of death was a pre-existing condition.

It's best to leave  the impression that everyone should do two things: get fully vaccinated and also stay away from Hawaii.

================================

The above very sad and deliberately confused incident was somewhat of a coincidence for me, having received an email containing a strong suggestion that I watch a certain video. So I did.

In fact, I think everyone ought to see it (here's the LINK) and then ask themselves this: in what way is Hawaii any different "Covid"-wise from anywhere else?

Hawaii seems to have done everything that's being done elsewhere -- including misuse of the PCR test: LINK

Unlike the rather furtive Business Insider news item above (ah, now we see why it's called "Insider") -- long on innuendo and minuscule on fact -- the video is very specific about the unreliability of the PCR test and the difference between deaths from Covid and deaths WITH Covid.

Big thanks to Roger Higgs (DPhil-Oxford), who received the link from an M.D.family member.

Roger says: "10-min video, August 11th.

• Note the speaker's obvious sincerity, eloquence, and lack of a script.
• The revelations in the video fit with everything I've seen and read since this whole covid farce began 18 months ago:

i.e.

• no statistically significant excess all-causes mortality in 2020, in 17 western nations.
• the usual annual deaths from respiratory complications due to flu supposedly vanished in 2020, magically replaced by alleged deaths from 'covid'.
• PCR test cannot distinguish 'covid' and flu (now even admitted by CDC too).
• supposed 'covid' virus has never been isolated (does it even exist?).
•  I personally don't know anybody who knows any previously healthy person who died of 'covid'.
• "Inevitable conclusion: It's a scam. Our freedom is being (has already been) stolen."

================================

Now, about that rumored Fall Election:

AngusReidInstitute: Politics and the Fourth Wave: As concern over COVID rises, are the Liberals poised to benefit?

They hadda ask?

Trudeau wants so very badly to gain a majority in Parliament that it seems he's willing to be even more disruptive than the "pandemic" itself. He's got something up his sleeve, no doubt dreamed up by George Soros -- transmitted through Chrystia Freeland -- our true "leader".  I'm not surprised that quite a few Members are resigning from politics; maybe they know or can guess what's coming and don't want to be part of it. If so, then good on them.

But let's hope they don't decide to vacation in Hawaii. Can anyone imagine going there after what's been suggested by the media in reporting the death of the young Southwest Airlines flight attendant (above)?

The Guardian can: Apparently, San Diego is an even worse place to be. Go figure.
